Specifically – take note, Stevens fans – he said he regularly rides the 2, 3, A, C and F lines. He didn’t say whether he ever manages to find a seat on the often-crowded trains.

Stevens, 30, moved from England last fall to Manhattan to appear on Broadway alongside Jessica Chastain in The Heiress, which finished its limited run last month. He is now busy shooting A Walk Among the Tombstones, a movie starring Liam Neeson, in Brooklyn.

Sporting his new look of brown hair and a scruffy mustache and soul patch, Stevens enthused over the fact that subway trains run all night in New York.

“Are you listening, London?” he asked pointedly. “Whatever New Yorkers say, you have an amazing subway system.” (The London Underground currently ceases operations shortly after 1 a.m., resuming tube service at 5 a.m.)

As for New York itself, Stevens said he is enjoying his time in Gotham: “It’s energizing and also exhausting. But it’s always had an electricity that I find very attractive.”
